Small stucco cracks may allow water penetration that can result in loosening of large areas and possible deterioration of the structure.
Stucco can be an extremely strong and durable material, lasting for the life of a home. However, just like a driveway, a stucco wall is prone to cracking. It would be an arduous task to list all the things that can cause stucco cracks.
There are several reasons that cracks can occur in stucco. Most cracks in the finish coat are aesthetic in nature and do not damage the integrity of the building structure. Some cracks occur due to the settling of the property. This is especially true of new construction.
Whenever the stucco finish has not been applied on the wall properly, even the stucco's durable surface can gain cracks or damage prematurely. It is important to repair stucco as soon as the cracks or gouges have been spotted to prevent the damage from getting worse.
Moisture can easily get into these cracks and harm the mesh wire or the wall underneath the finish.
